Böcker av Sally Palmer Thomason

For thirty-four years Sister Anne Brooks, a Catholic nun, served one of the America's most impoverished towns and regions, Tutwiler, in the Mississippi Delta. Sally Palmer Thomason tells her powerful story, beginning with her tumultuous childhood, the overcoming of crippling arthritis, and her decision to attend medical school.

Betty Bobo Pearson (b. 1922), a seventh-generation, plantation-born Mississippian, defied her cultural heritage - and caused great personal pain for her parents and herself - when she became an activist in the civil rights movement. Never fearing to break the mold in her search for the "best," she, in her ninety-third year, remains a strong, effective leader with a fun-loving, generous spirit.
